[Mike S]

Just saw it.

DK Is giving me strong Indy vibes

 

[Doug A.]

That is just stunningly beautiful and I can’t wait for it to come to Orlando. I really love the DK area the most (bit biased as it’s my favorite Nintendo franchise)

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

As someone who plays Nintendo still nearly daily or at the very least weekly, I have taken an hour to process all this and I am just so so happy. Saving money for a trip here starting today!!! Money adds up overtime people

 

[Magic-Man]

Holy mother of God.

The whole thing looks great (obviously not that different than the reveal video: but the Yoshi ride and the full DK area are what we haven't had a good look at yet).

My, again complaint: Why did they wait on building out the full thing in Japan? I want some banana milkshakes please.

Im envisioning just how high that 2nd level is going to be from ground level. This is going to be amazing!! Dk looks insane i cant wait for the other worlds!

Omg the food

I'm not any form of Nintendo fan, and I have never even played a DK game, but jeez that area looks beautiful and I'd love for that to be built.

 

[Paulio]

I'm confused, is the DK area for the 4th Universal park in Orlando?

This was originally planned for USF. It'll probably be in Fantastic Worlds, yes, but this model is three years old. Things might have changed.

Speaking of DK, I noticed that the playground seen in the concept art is nowhere to be found on the model. Weird.

The playground was not in the actual build plans, only in the early pitch concept... however, there was space that was being allocated for later expansion that likely would've been for a play area to to the right of the DK land.

 

[Magic-Man]

Jeez, every Nintendo fan is freaking out right now. It's amazing.

 

[belloq87]

That model looks stunning. If that's the base level we should be expecting for the land in FW, it should be incredible... though now I feel even worse for USF than usual!

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

And these are the same people that created Fast and Furious Supercharged. Incredible.

Maybe it was an intentional leak...

 

[Magic-Man]

Maybe it was an intentional leak...

Absolutely not.

I mean, no? Its a large company with many designers, project managers, and more. It's like saying you can't imagine the same people who brought us Dinorama created Carsland. Or the same people who created new Fantasmic at DLR also created RoL.

Fair, but all got approved by the same people didn't they? In the case of Universal? I understand budgets and all aren't the same, but its interesting how inspiring the company can be and how uninspiring they can be in such a short span.

That model is amazing. Imagine the Studios we have now, only with that.

Anyway, I hope moving to the new park doesn’t cost us the density we see in the model, especially the multi-level concept.

I think Donkey Kong could use more area to breath. As it stands it would feel VERY claustrophobic with Orlando crowds. But I agree about the Mushroom Kingdom area.

Speaking of DK. Anyone notice how the coaster as a splash down effect? Pretty cool considering the kind of concept it is
